The Commission ffc, ' COMMISSION will improve with the years. We have had a d fine beginning; just think what it will be in a few years from V Vnow! That is what they said just after the commission form of government was organized in Gardena, and indeed it was a prophecy. The commissioners for this year were Robert Felt and Charles Brun- zell, affairs ; Elizabeth Williams and Nonie Moore, welfare ; Eleen Walburg and George Matthewson, arts; Lawrence Bourquin and Herbert Tatsch, athletics ; Gene Carlson and George Bateman, safety ; Vernon Harper and Betty Blanchard, junior high; Mrs. Whedon was faculty adviser to the commission for the entire year. The secretaries were Opal Wheeler and Le Ella Murphy. Several changes have been made this year in method of administra- tion. The student court was abohshed completely and the guide system w?s changed. The old form of ground guides and hall guides has been discontinued and in its pl?.ce we have the senior control system. This new system has proved very satisfactory. Fewer students have cut classes and there has been a decided improvement in the condition and appearance of the grounds. The students are coming to realize that each has his per- sonal responsibility in keeping order and happiness in the school. The social activities of this year have also been a success. A senior high school party was planned by the commission and held in January. The attendance at this party was very large and everyone reported a good time. Two commission parties were held and the commission said, They were the best fun of the season. A film, The Making of O ' Malley, was shown to the student body. The aud. calls for this year were especially entertaining, for the commissioners discovered much talent in our student body. Pleasing variety wrs found in the special aud. calls which were given over to our Junior Lions Club, Varsity Club, Dramatics Classes, etc. The commission also arranged for a progam of assemblies which proved highly entertaining because of their unusual interest. Each aud. call was in charge of some one department in the school and the program wa built around the work of that department. The commission has been very active and through the cooperation of the student body, the enterprises of the year have been successful. Page Fourteen
